Too Hot to Handle

2010-06-21T12:35:00.000-07:00

Taking a break from doing events this summer because it's way too HOT to be outside for anywhere from 8 to 10 hours at the events I'd planned to do over the summer. Temps are creeping up (rushing is a more appropriate word) into the 100s and I like air conditioning which doesn't happen outside. So I've decided to lay low over the summer and keep my cool. I'll be back doing lots of events in the fall.

Only thing is, I've already committed to doing the 4th of July at Market Square, July 3rd, 4th, and 5th, from 10 am to 10 pm. So I'll be out there sweltering in the heat. If you can take the heat, come on out. After that, I'll be celebrating my freedom from doing outdoor markets for a while cause I just can't handle the heat.

But I do have lots of great plans while I'm staying inside for the summer. In addition to bringing out a new edition of Foods and Flavors of San Antonio, which will include 90 more pages, I've partnered with Chimayo Traditions to bring out Southwest Seasonings, a new product line of spices, seasonings, dried chiles, soup, salsa, and bread mixes that offer the true taste of the Southwest.

I'll see you in September and keep you updated on my happenings till then.
I'll be posting a full calendar of events of where I'll be reappearing when it's
a bit cooler outside.

Legacy Outdoor Market

Rain Rocks

2010-05-23T08:18:00.000-07:00

I have a new item... Rain Rocks.

Based on an old Texas cowboy legend, rain rocks have magical abilities. Hang them outside where you're going to be and they will prevent it from raining on your outdoor event.

I've collected some very special rocks, cleansed and blessed them, dressed them with artwork and flowers, and I take them to all my outdoor events. I haven't been rained on yet so they're working.
